Current License Usage pie chart

The Current License Usage pie chart shows the percentage :

Current UsersThe number of users who are currently using at least one license

...

.
License UsageThe license usage counted towards the total allowed for monitoring. The license usage is calculated as either:
  • Total number of unique usernames in the database (under the new licensing model, introduced in 2019)

or

  • Total number of unique usernames or user-host pairs from the last 14 days (under the old licensing model, introduced in 2013)
Total LicensesThe total licenses allowed for monitoring

...

.


Example

The following example shows that 82 percent of the total number of users are currently using at least one license, and the remaining 18 percent are not using any license at all.

Note: Due to the licensing model of the software, the user count includes only users (usernames or user hosts, as determined by license type) who used a license within the past 14 days.

Grouping current license usage information

The Current Users report lets you group information by user on host to view:

  • the number of used features
  • the last checkout time

Example

The following example shows the current usage values for 3 users on host. As we can see, there are 2 users who are currently using at least one license, and User 1 is using licenses on 2 hosts. Therefore, the values are grouped into three areas, each of which displays all features used on a particular host by a user, a well as information about the number of licenses of each feature and last checkout time.

Information about the number of used features, used licenses, and the most recent checkout time is detailed below each area.
